perched monday n today and caught limit in 2 hrs both days. good fishin.
I have heard this numerous times but have had no luck their. How far south and west from the island? Closer to light house or closer to the island?
Traveling to Marblehead this coming weekend ( Aug.6-9 ) with my nephews and brother. They would like to try the perch bite and I would agree it would probably be best this time of the year. I have been hearing of certain locations, but would like specifics for the Kelleys area. It has been a few years since I've fished the area. Have a tested 22 ft. Starcraft , but would like to stay south of the border.
Did good there also on July 25, was actually using the SWS wind for drifting, caught 4 nice perch on harnesses and marked the GPS spot, came back there in couple of hours and did good. I was to west of red can about 1/2 mile. American eagle reef area.
Hit the mother load this afternoon southwest of Kelly's. Never in my life have I had such action. 90 in less than 2 hrs. Also heard a very reliable report G can is also a hot spot right now.
we were out Sunday at G-can,early, and didnt catch much of anything,,mved out to green island and hit a bunch of skinny 4 to 5 inchers,and finally moved between green and rattle,caught a few 10 and 12 inchers with a mix of 4 to 8 inchers.
heard through the grapevine the reefs by bessie are producing eyes,just wondering what people are using for casting or drifting.had a little luck a few weeks ago by marblehead lighthouse drifting spoons on BB,but havent seen or heard much since.
same spot today only one other boat thier. all the rest were further west and south out from Lakeside must have ben 75-100 boats. Oh yeah 50- 14lbs 2hrs 9am-11am
got 60 on 8-7, 8am-10am lots of boats-didnt want to get in pack so got marks and set anchor SW kellys, about 1/2mile south of the 100 or so boats. Went north to try some eyes and got nothing but grass. Any reports on Sundays fishing- post them. Didnt get out, super nice day, but fishing is a little boring along- Somthin-Fishy
Out on Sunday, early by 7:30, SW Kelleys before the 100's of boats showed up! 2 ppl limited out in 1.5 hours! You didn't even have time to get your hook set before you were reeling it in =) Lots and lots of doubles.
Was out Sat on the northeast side of the sandbar north of Vermillion. We were chasin eyes. Lots of marks but no takers. Should have brung our perch gear also had lots of marks.
went out Sunday off SW corner of Kelly's a couple of miles closer to Kelly's than the main pack 15# 2 person limit less then 2 hrs. Only 3 boats their and I was one and brought the other two in.
I'm planning on heading up this weekend. Are they still catching Perch SW of Kelleys? If not, any other suggestions. Thanks,
sw kellys 34.5, 24 line. last sunday alittle over two hours we caught our 180 limit. this would be a good start.. had to meke one move to get out of the small ones.. Good Luck.. Capt Jim. jandjfishingcharters.com
